Loan titans paid McCain adviser nearly $2 million By David D. Kirkpatrick and Charles Duhigg Published: September 22, 2008
Senator John McCain's campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former officials say. "The value that he brought to the relationship was the closeness to Senator McCain and the possibility that Senator McCain was going to run for president again," said Robert McCarson, a former spokesman for Fannie Mae. http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/22/america/22mccain.php --- And these are the guys he's threatening to reign in? Lobbyists that make $2 million a year to deregulate and do nothing, then become proponents of regulation? All talk and no action McCain. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
